In 1969, ITV produced a television special titled 'With A Little Help From My Friends' as a tribute to George Martin and his profound impact on the music industry. Notably, Ringo Starr took part in the special and consented to lip-sync a performance of 'Octopus's Garden.' In adherence to the guidelines set forth by the Musicians' Union, a re-recording was undertaken to create the illusion that Starr was singing live. For this purpose, new instrumental tracks were recorded by accomplished session musicians while retaining the original vocal track.

I wondered for decades how this made-for-TV sounded, and finally here I am hearing it. If only some footage of the show still exist…
-
The musicality of Ringo's fills together with George's licks is outstanding. Just listen to the last few seconds.
-
There wasn't a ban on lip-syncing - but there was a Musician's Union directive that the performance had to be original to the TV show. This was to ensure that session musicians had an opportunity to receive a performance payment for their work. It's the same reason that artists lip-syncing on Top of the Pops were supposed to either play live or lip sync to a re-recorded version of the track. In reality, they often sang over a remixed version instead... This is a really interesting one, where session musicians have recreated a recording (a bit like the Top of the Pops records of the 1970s - but that's another rabbit hole).

Octopus's Garden is actually a brilliant song. It gets some credit, but because it sounds so infantile, it doesn't get as much as it might.
-
That guitar playing, I never really noticed all the bits, exceptional work!

You are possibly one of the coolest people ever Thank you for all the great stuff, it's fab, it's gear, etc, etc. ✌😎✌😎

It's only this year (and month) when i knew this nicely amazing song by Ringo. Goddie😇 bless you for post it.
-
One of my favourite songs from The Beatles. It is great!!!
-
Sounds fantastic!
-
Thank you for this

THANK YOU!!!!! I found this on Kazaa or Napster AGES ago and I’ve never been able to find it since. I had no idea that the instrumentalists weren’t The Beatles, which makes sense why I’ve never found this using “Beatles” in the search terms. I’ve always loved this version as it is charmingly barebones. What a great find. You made my year.

Nice, and it’s like a jingle in a TV ad
-
Wow, I never heard this one.. Thanks! 🙏🏽
-
Just amazing 😁
-
I just noticed...that's Ringo's drum stem, too. Ain't no session musician gonna replace that shit. And I imagine the session musicians needed to play along to some sort of reference track, & I suppose the drum stem is the best thing for that (bar the guitar intro & outro). Plus, those "bubbly" vocals in the bridge are just the best.

✌️we ❤️ ringo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!✌️
-
George's guitar is so underappreciated here
-
Session musicians did good work on the guitar and piano parts. Rerecorded with them 12/8/69 in 10 takes, the vocals and solo harmonies (and also drums too?) were played back for sessions musicans so play
-
I love ringo! ❤️
